Black Friday AI, Data Breaches, Power Fights, and Autonomous Agents

Brian, Beth, and Andy hosted this Black Friday episode and opened with jokes about the show being “free today” even though it is always free. They recapped Thanksgiving, chatted with regulars in the live chat, and then moved into a slower news cycle driven by the holiday.

From there, they covered SAP’s new EU AI cloud, data center power issues around XAI and federal subsidies, HSBC’s criticism of OpenAI’s financial outlook, satellite risks, and a large segment on what December model releases may or may not look like. The second half focused on Amazon’s new autonomous agent company, OpenAI’s holiday data breach disclosure, Starlink growth, real estate automation, and why creators feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with current AI development.
